hello, im not often found in this section im normally around the motorsport section...

but on the way home from shopping the other day i spotted this in a tree, pulled over quickly to snap away, remembered to open the car window XD but struggled a bit with the light background, seemed to be straight into the bright sun, but overall i dont think the detail came out too bad to say its not something i shoot...

but here goes
